About the artist

Caren Florance is a queer-identifying artist and writer who lives and works in Bega, NSW, within the Yuin-Monaro Nations. Her typo-bibliographic practice, often produced within the imprint Ampersand Duck, is deeply material, using handset letterpress and other processes to explore overlaps of visual poetry and text art via artist books, zines and other print formats. Her artwork is collected by national and international institutions, mostly libraries. In 2019 she published a commercial visual poetry volume called Lost in Case with Cordite Books.
